25.01.2022 Ole! I hope your kids loved their FeastBox fiesta today. Their lovingly prepared boxes went out with either Mexican beans or turkey chilli con carne, both served with basmati rice, cheese and corn chips. Add-ons included vegie sticks or roasted chickpeas, pear or mandarin, banana carrot & zucchini cake or caramel sesame cacao bite. What did they think of today's colourful selection?
25.01.2022 Did your kiddo have one of our FeastBoxes today? It was packed with our guy-friendly vegie fried rice with a choice of honey & soy marinated tofu or chicken drummy. Perhaps they chose some popcorn to go with that? Maybe a pear or a mandarin too? What about our better for you sweet treats? Did they choose the chocolate zucchini cake or a banana muesli square? Which ever way your kiddo had their Feastbox today, I hope they loved it!
24.01.2022 Quesadillas made their debut in today’s FeastBox! Did your kid choose the chicken or the bean one? Both included corn, red capsicum, spinach & cheese in a toasted wholegrain wrap. The chocolate zucchini cake was by far the most popular choice for our add-on options, and is a personal favourite. Creamy tuna dip was paired with some crunchy and colourful vegie sticks. Along with some pineapple or orange. What a fiesta of good-for-you food!
24.01.2022 This week I want to share with you a little about myself and my latest campaign to help raise funds for the outdoor play spaces at BSWPS. I’m a mum of three kids, two of which are already at BSWPS, and one more to start next year. I’ve always had a passion for food and cooking, and even trained as a chef many years ago. Since becoming a mother, I became much more interested in feeding my kids foods that would support their growth and high levels of energy. So, a few years ago... I left a career in GIS/Cartography and went back to uni to study nutrition. After completing my studies, I wanted to use my knowledge to help other parents with the day to day grind of feeding kids well and empower our kids to make healthy food choices. FeastBox was born. I know how hard it can be some days to come up with meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in between. Some days I don’t feel like I’m doing it well, and just seem to scrape by with whatever is in the cupboard or fall back on a local take-away meal. We’re all doing the best we can. I want to give you a break from all of this, just on Friday’s, so you can hit the pause button on lunchbox prep and feel relieved that your kids are still being well fed. I’m grateful to the BSWPS school council for endorsing and supporting my proposal to begin operating FeastBox in term 4 last year. Coming up to the 1st anniversary I wanted to give back to the community that has helped FeastBox get off the ground, and so I’m running a special fundraising campaign for the remainder of term 3. Every time you purchase a FeastBox we’ll donate $1 to the outdoor play spaces project. You can have a day off lunchbox prep, the kids get a healthy and delicious lunch, and you help raise funds for the school. Win, win, win! Please support FeastBox to raise funds for BSWPS, and get your orders in today!
23.01.2022 Did you know that cooked and cooled rice is a great source of resistant starch and that most Australian's are not consuming nearly enough? Resistant starch helps to keep us regular while feeding the good bacteria in our gut. Regular consumption helps reduce the risk of colon cancer, lowers our blood cholesterol and helps stabilise sugar levels in our bloodstream. Cooked and cooled fried rice is not only high in resistant starch, it is also a convenient way to pack in lots ...of veg, and that's how our rice rolls. FeastBox fried rice has got generous helpings all of the classics - peas, corn, red capsicum, and spring onions. With a nice kick of soy sauce, this rice is simple and a crowd pleaser with the kids. Pair it with honey and soy marinated tofu or a chicken drummy, and it becomes a delicious and nutritious complete meal. So grab a FeastBox this week and let's feed those kids some rice. See more
21.01.2022 Life's busy, but don't go bananas! Order your FeastBox instead and take a break from lunchbox prep. While you're at it, order a banana in this week's box. The banana is the fruit of choice for most Australians and they are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with energy-giving carbohydrate and heart-healthy potassium. They even come in their own convenient packaging.
20.01.2022 Have you run out of steam by Friday too? Possibly the fridge supplies are low and/or you've run out of ideas.... Join the FeastBox tribe and let us make the kid's lunch. We'll even deliver! Get on board and have a well deserved day off lunchbox prep.
19.01.2022 We think about how to feed your little human beans all day long and we want you to have a well deserved day off lunchbox prep. So grab a FeastBox this week, and choose one of our bean inspired options!
18.01.2022 My long time hairdresser & friend is an awesome chick that pays forward her support by championing other business women. Thx Megan Kate Anderson at Satori hair! PS, Megan is also a fantastic hairdresser!
18.01.2022 Say hello to sushi sandwiches this week! It's a mash up that's sure to be fun, with lots of flavour combinations to suit everyone's tastes. We use wholegrain bread to make ours, so that your kid gets an extra boost of fibre, keeping them fuller for longer.
17.01.2022 For our hungry little human beans we've got some great bean inspired options to make up their FeastBox this Friday. First up, the mixed bean salad is a classic with corn, red and green capsicum and parsley with a mayonnaise dressing. Secondly, the kids won't go past the beef and bean meatballs in the BIY (Build It Yourself) Burger. Served with a wholemeal bread roll, cheese, lettuce and sauce, it’s the healthy burger that kids love.... Beans are a versatile powerhouse of nutritional goodness, so whichever options your kids choose this week, you can be confident your little human beans will be fuelled for their busy day! See more
15.01.2022 Ole! It's a mexican fiesta for the next two weeks at FeastBox. First up, your kids can take their pick from two versions of chilli con carne, a turkey one or a bean one. Add some rice, corn chips and a little grated cheese and you've got one very tasty lunch. Don't worry, our chilli actually contains no chilli... keeping it safe for younger palates. They both contain good servings of a variety of veg, including onions, garlic, carrots, tomatoes, beans and red capsicum. Re...d capsicum is a native plant of the America’s and is used widely throughout Mexican cuisine. We use it a lot in many of our dishes at FeastBox and is a mainstay in our vegie stick selection. The kids like it for its crisp and juicy sweetness. Red capsicum is nutritionally beneficial for a range of vitamins and minerals, and in particular it is an excellent source of vitamins A and C. Vitamin A is important for good vision, healthy skin and for supporting your immune system. Vitamin C is important for keeping your skin, bones and connective tissue healthy while helping to heal wounds and prevent infections. Eaten with iron-rich foods, vitamin C helps your body absorb iron at a much higher rate. Try adding red capsicum to your home-cooked mexican meals, stir-fry’s, salads, soups or stews, and get it in your kid’s FeastBox this week! See more
14.01.2022 Pasta salads with some seriously super vege sauces featured this week in your kiddo's FeastBox. First up is our broccoli & basil pesto pasta salad with peas. This gets plenty of nutrition tick and is nut-free to keep it safe for all kids. Our pesto is packed with broccoli, basil, pepita and sunflower seeds, garlic, parmesan cheese, lemon & extra virgin olive oil. Carlo says, "the pesto pasta salad is the best. I'd have it every day if I could." Next up is our super 7 past...a salad with ricotta and spinach. This is the perfect pasta to sneak a few vegies into kids that might usually avoid them. A whopping 7 different veg is in the sauce, with the addition of spinach stirred through at the end, making 8 total! But they'll never even know. They'll just think it's totes tasty! Whichever choice, I hope your kiddo loved their pasta salad.
13.01.2022 One of our favourite signature dishes features in the FeastBox menu this week - the antipasto box. For kids of all sizes that like a little bit of this and a little bit of that. For the main, choose from a combo of hard-boiled egg, lean ham, cherry tomatoes and cheese and crackers, or the sweet corn fritters, cherry tomatoes and cheese and crackers. Add on options include, a seasonal selection of vegie sticks, couscous salad, kiwi fruit, pineapple, mini berry muffin and caramel sesame cacao bites. Make up your antipasto box today. Hurry orders close 9am tomorrow.
13.01.2022 Roasted chickpeas are a healthy little snack that not only count towards your vegie intake, they are also an excellent source of protein. A rich source of vitamins, minerals and fibre, these crispy little gems with a touch of salt are an excellent addition to a kids lunchbox, or as an after school snack. Parents need not miss out... they are excellent paired with a cold beer after a long day. Whether you purchase them at the supermarket ready to eat, or roast them yourself, this is a snack worth trying. Why not order some in your kiddo's FeastBox this Friday?
12.01.2022 Wishing all of our FeastBox dad's a very special Father's Day. We hope you can share the best dad joke this day with the people who'll laugh hardest.
12.01.2022 The FeastBox mexican fiesta continues this week with a brand new menu item, quesadillas! Kids can choose from two options, a kidney bean one or a chicken one. Both include corn, red capsicum, spinach and cheese. Toasted in a wholegrain wrap so all the flavours meld together, this is sure to be a big hit. Order one before 9am tomorrow for Friday's delivery. Ole!
07.01.2022 This is my favourite part of the week. Sending off our lovingly prepared FeastBoxes to your kids. The BIY (Build It Yourself) Burgers included 2-3 balls (beef and bean or lentil), lettuce, cheese, sauce and a wholemeal bread roll. The kids can build their burger however they like, or eat it separately - whatever their little heart desires. You can see that Hungry Monkeys get slightly larger servings of the main, vegie and fruit snacks than the Peckish Parrot box. The better-for-you sweet treat is kept small for everyone, in keeping with Australian Dietary Guidelines. I hope they love it.
04.01.2022 We hate wasting food. That's why we ask our customers to place their orders a minimum of 24 hours before delivery. This gives us time to shop, prepare and cook only what is needed for our hungry monkey's and peckish parrot's. We compost all of our scraps too! Coupled with our efforts to use compostable packaging, FeastBox is committed to a war on waste.
03.01.2022 At FeastBox we always try to choose wholegrain breads wherever possible in our menu items. Bread is a good source of carbohydrate, and is low in fat, and the wholegrain varieties have the added benefit of additional protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals, as well as healthy fats. In particular, the dietary fibre content of wholegrains helps to keep us fuller for longer and is beneficial for our bowel health by preventing constipation and feeding the ‘good’ gut bacteria. Some k...ids have a propensity to choose white over wholemeal or wholegrain bread, when given the choice. However, if you start by switching over to wholemeal bread and then slowly introduce wholegrain varieties as a regular feature of their diets, they just might accept it and even learn to like it. Be mindful that parents need to commit to it too, by modelling the eating behaviours you want your kids to follow. If they just won’t have any of that, then stick with white and choose hi-fibre varieties where possible. See more
